This is the device that makes the magic happen.

:wink:

So… Mike…

I’ll bite. What’s it do? C’mon, I won’t tell anyone…
:smiley:

Can’t wait to see you guys… Good luck!

3

If you turn it 90 degrees to the right, please?

4

Maybe it creates suction?

5

Yeah, looks like the plate in the back pushes out the one on the front. Are there suction cups in the front? But it looks a little too complex for that. Humn…

6

It goes at the bottom of the robot.
And it is upside down.

I wish we had a mill.
Hmm a globe driving a lead screw. What could it be?? are those 2 cylinders pnumatic rams?

Wetzel is 50% correct.

The rest of you are not even remotely close.

:slight_smile:

That’s all I’ll say for now. I don’t want to release any more pivotal information about our strategy.

:wink:

Very purdy Maddie:p

Wanna tell me what it is?

Well, my guess would have to be some sort of pusher.

Look at the globe motor. Too slow to create a fast-enough suction-repeatedly, but high enough torque to push other robots/things.

Some sort of top-of-ramp defender or pusher-off-thingy? (like my wording!)

Some more hints available?!?!

Hmmmm, we’ll have to think about that one, wtdya think Michael, should we give’m another one… u know for good times sake??:rolleyes: :smiley:

It could be meant to lift up the robot; if so, it’s on its side. The screw would move the plate and two tubes down. If the tubes have suction cups on them, this would make a good stick to top of ramp mechanism. Who knows (other than them, of course)

I see some kind of hinge above the motor. The part I want to get a look at is the small object in the lower left corner of the opening. It looks big and heavy by the look of it. 12"x3"x8" at least. My guess its something to flip over the bars.
